Giant Silk MothsPlease can you identify this moth
Hi,
Was in Zambia, Africa in Jan last year working at a lodge next to the Zambezi River. This moth flew in while we were having supper. I was amazed by its unique markings. Would be great to know what it’s called. Cheers,
Sean Rooke
Hi Sean,
If this is not Epiphora mythimnia, then it is a very close relative. You can compare your image to one posted on Kirby Wolfe’s Insect Company Website.
